John McSweeney - Donegal Ireland

[annette ellen]

I have just got a Marriage Cert for a John McSweeny and Bridget Cuneen
 
John was born in 1865 Donegal Ireland. his age on M?C is 30y.
His father was John McSweeny a farmer and mother Agnes Boyce.
I have not been able to find out when he may have come out to Australia and if  he was with his parents and any siblings.

If any one can help me with any info it would be much appreciated.

Many thanks
annette ellen.

Could you give us more information, please? Where did this marriage take place and what was the date (c1895?)?

The first complete Irish census is 1901- both 1901 and 1911 census are online and you can search for John's parents there (although they could already have died, left Ireland or be unidentifiable with the details you have)/

Registration of births started in 1864. The civil registration index is online and I can't see a possible birth for John but you can take a look yourself-

Have a look at Introduction to Irish Records and My Ancestor came from Ireland - where do I start?.
